OptimusPrime1

Edit: Looks like the first game will also be PS5 Pro enhanced: https://xcancel.com/ninjatheory/status/1937921268776313055

To me, it was good, as I'm certainly interested in 007 First Light, Pragmata, Sword of the Sea, Ghost of Yotei, and Thief PSVR2, but not at all in the other announcements. Also, I wished they finished with something bigger, like a Saros or Intergalactic gameplay trailer, or maybe a Horizon 3 teaser or Horizon Online announcement.

@Bamila Or at least PSSR support on the Pro for higher quality upscaling. A new balanced (40 FPS) mode would also be nice.

@belmont You only get points if you're subscribed to PS+.

For me to pay for such multiplayer games (i.e. games that rely on popularity to be playable at all), it would have to be one of the top 5 best games in existence. As for this generic-looking, trend-chasing game, it would have to be either free-to-play or super cheap to gain a sustainable player base, given the saturated market of all the currently popular (and higher-quality) multiplayer games, live-service or not, since they appeal to the same type of players.

Too bad it's an MMO.

Let them cook.

Checking out the new Pro patch for Returnal, in the tower. Looks so crisp now. 🤌

@MisterWhen FYI, Remedy said here that you can play it solo:

Already preordered.

Interesting (and even unique?) art style, but certainly not for me, as I have no interest in multiplayer games. That said, I hope that they make good use of early feedback and that it doesn't fail, for Sony and Bungie's sakes.

YouTube comment says they removed the shadows in the 2024 version for this comparison video to make the 2025 improvement look more significant. Is that true?

@Bamila I haven't heard anything about it since they tweeted "We currently have no plans for PS5 Pro patch" on Nov 20, 2024.

@Casco They said "We currently have no plans for PS5 Pro patch", which doesn't necessarily mean they will never do it. Their plans might change in the future after all. And yes, PSVR2 support would be amazing, but much less likely than a potential Pro enhancement patch.

Does it actually benefit from running on PS5 Pro compared to PS5 (as the PS5 Pro Enhanced label on its VR upgrade's store page suggests)?

If their single-player experiences are so "cutting-edge", why aren't they enhancing Cyberpunk 2077 for PS5 Pro, e.g. by adding PSSR and/or more RT effects (maybe as options)?

@CrackmanNL I see. In that case, I'd include "from Flat2VR Studios" in the title for clarity, just like in the source blog post.

Wasn't Hitman's PSVR2 version also newly announced, and isn't that a major one? Why was it left out?

While they are at it, I hope they also enhance the game for PS5 Pro, e.g. adding PSSR support.

@heavyartillery56 Also, 30 FPS looks more stuttery on OLED displays in general (compared to older display technologies) due to OLED's near-instant pixel response time ("sample and hold").

@Zeke68 Thanks for the response. To see if I could find anything, I checked the EU PS blog site archives in Wayback Machine (linked below), where blog posts end on 2020/05/28 (when that site merge probably happened as there are only redirect pages archived soon after), and couldn't find any blog posts archived in 2020 (or 2019) with Returnal or Housemarque in the URL. FWIW, the game was apparently announced on 2020/06/11, so that might not be surprising.

Looks nice. Any news on this being "PS5 Pro Enhanced"?

Astro Bot, now that it's updated for PS5 Pro.

@Zeke68 Can you share your link to that blog post anyway, as the link or the title within the link could still help find it in an Internet archive?

@Zeke68 I haven't heard of such a player-specific world seed that would consistently make it more difficult for some. Do you remember which Returnal blog post you read that in? https://blog.playstation.com/tag/returnal/
FYI, weapon level number is determined based on your current weapon proficiency number when you find the weapon. So, you can't find a high-level weapon at the beginning (i.e. when you have low proficiency). And each different type of weapon only spawns after you find that type of weapon for the first time at its corresponding discovery biome and room (assuming that room spawns in your current cycle).

@Americansamurai1 Freedom would look even better if they added PSSR (latest version).

I'm halfway through Hogwarts Legacy. Performance mode (uncapped frame rate) looks and performs great on PS5 Pro, FWIW.

Why should we care about what some random "celebrity" thinks about a game?

Shouldn't Spine also be on this list?

Finally finished Spider-Man 2. This game's PS5 Pro enhancements are spectacular on a 120 Hz VRR TV.

Voted for:
1. Indiana Jones
2. Grand Theft Auto 6
3. Ghost of Yotei
4. Crimson Desert
5. Death Stranding 2

Store link, to wishlist: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10009791

The Crew Motorfest looks great on the Pro, too, with a single mode running at 60 FPS, 1696p typical resolution upscaled to 2160p with a good implementation of PSSR. (Apparently, it's also free to play until December 12, 2024.)

My guess: it will play digital PS4 & PS5 games locally (on device) and PS6 games via cloud or Remote Play, all at 1080p resolution up to 60 FPS, with the same form factor as PS Portal, but heavier (thicker behind the screen), sold for $400 + tax in the US (possibly more if it's affected significantly by tariffs).

I hope the holiday sale that will start later in December has (better) deals on more popular games.

What's "SSD2" (in the PS5 Pro Internal Storage cell)? Should it just be "SSD"?

Also, why not mention the weight of both Digital Edition and Standard Edition in the PS5 column?

@xDD90x Indeed. I would have expected better from Push Square. If it's explicitly confirmed somewhere that restoring a PS5 backup on PS5 Pro wouldn't work, they should have at least linked to a source for that unexpected claim.

@riceNpea ... or at least 9S. 😂

Currently Hi-Fi Rush, while I wait for the Pro to play pro-enhanced games.

This list is outdated. E.g., Wanderer has been delayed (again): https://www.uploadvr.com/wanderer-the-fragments-of-fate-has-been-delayed-once-more/

Where is the option for 40 FPS balanced mode?

Another issue with making a portable version of PS4 would be the save file of each game being separate from that of its PS5 version, which would prevent seamlessly switching between playing on this hypothetical portable and playing on the PS5 (like you can with the Portal) unless you're OK with playing the PS4 version of the game on PS5, which would mean missing out on PS5 improvements over PS4, like better performance and image quality, DualSense features, 3D audio, etc.

This is great news! Really enjoyed the first game.

Planning to play it on PS5 Pro, after it hopefully gets a bespoke patch for improved performance and image quality. Have too much of a backlog currently anyway.

@Nakatomi_Uk PS6 is rumored to be likely released in 2028. That's 4 years away, not 2 years.

Slow news day? There is nothing that implies PS5 Pro would be delayed to 2025. Tom Henderson clarified here:
https://insider-gaming.com/playstation-5-pro-2024-release/

@The_Wailing_Doom Indeed. My Pulse Explore no longer disconnects once an hour or so, after the update.

@rusty82 Indeed. And those final levels and especially trial 16 really test the player's patience and perseverance.

Based on the trailer, it looks much more like a PS4 UE4 game than a PS5 UE5 game.

Maybe they are waiting for the rumored September showcase / PS5 Pro reveal event to show the major upcoming 1st-party games? #hopium
